Daily Life at Hogwarts Chapter 534: It’s cool when you pretend to be strong

Professor Sprout bandaged the willow very quickly. Several damaged branches were hung with bandages, which looked a bit ridiculous, like a person with a broken arm, wrapped in a plaster and wearing a bandage.

Albert's focus, however, is more on the cave hidden under the Willow, the passage to Hogsmeade's Shrieking Shack.

If Professor Sprout wasn't here, he would really like to go in and see.

Speaking of which, when Sirius Black broke into Hogwarts, how come no one thought that the other party might be bypassing Hogwarts' protective magic from here?

Professor Sprout obviously couldn't have not found the cave under the tree.

Forgot?

Sure enough, there are some things that can't be investigated in depth. Once they are deeply investigated, they will find a lot of loopholes. Maybe, I had checked here too, but Blake had left early.

After all, who cares about a dog, no one's reminded?

Albert did not continue to think about these questions because someone was coming this way, it was Gilderoy Lockhart.

The timing of this guy's appearance is just right, as Professor Sprout is almost finishing his treatment of the Willow.

"Good morning, Professor Sprout, and Mr. Anderson." Lockhart greeted the two with a radiant face, "Last night, I heard that the beating willow was seriously injured, so I came over to see if I could. Help heal it, and I've come across many amazing plants during my travels."

"I'm almost done with the treatment of the batting willow, don't bother you," Professor Sprout said dryly, obviously a little impatient with Lockhart's presence.

"No, don't bother, I'm also very good at healing magical plants." Lockhart had already drawn out his wand and cut off some of the broken branches on the tree.

"Be careful, keep your head down!"

An anxious voice suddenly sounded in everyone's ears, and the trunk of the willow had been swept out of thin air, and Lockhart, who was pruning the willow with his wand, was caught off guard by the branches and was severely beaten. He flew out and fell heavily on the ground.

The next moment, more branches fell towards Lockhart on the ground, causing him to roll to the left in an embarrassed manner to avoid the heavy knocking branches.

When the whole body of the beating willow was slanted, and when he was about to use the thick branches to slap Lockhart into flesh, the violent offensive suddenly quieted down, and a crisis was resolved out of thin air.

"Oh my god, are you all right, Professor Lockhart." Albert asked worriedly.

Professor Sprout looked at the results just now being destroyed like this, and looked at Lockhart, who was embarrassed, and the sullen expression on his face could not be less.

"It's great, Mr. Anderson, he controlled the beating willow in time, and Gryffindor scored 10 points." Professor Sprout said to Albert with a smile, "Please send Gilderoy to the school hospital. "

"Good professor." Albert heard Professor Sprout's implication, waved his wand and summoned a stretcher, then moved Professor Lockhart, who was lying on the ground groaning, onto the stretcher, and used a belt to When the person was fixed on a stretcher and was about to be carried to the school hospital, he heard Professor Sprout's voice behind him.

"Very good magic, Mr. Anderson, plus ten points for Gryffindor." Professor Sprout was clearly delighted by what happened to Lockhart.

There is no doubt that Lockhart is really unpopular with professors.

"Then I'll go first!" Albert followed the floating stretcher back to the castle.

"Can you please let me down, Mr. Anderson." Lockhart struggled a little, as if he wanted to get up from the stretcher, he didn't want the other students to see his embarrassed appearance.

"Professor Lockhart, I suggest you don't move around. The beating Willow just hit was hard enough, maybe breaking a few bones." Albert's gentle voice sounded in Lockhart's ear: "Given that Defence Against the Dark Arts professors are always cursed, I think you'd better ask Madam Pomfrey to check on you, lest there be any undiscovered injuries that lead to your sudden and unexpected death."

"If it were someone else, this might not be the case, but the cursed defense against the dark arts is so weird that I suggest you don't do anything dangerous to avoid accidents."

Lockhart's expression froze suddenly, and Albert's soft whispers terrified him like a devil.

Yes, he remembered his position as a cursed Defence Against the Dark Arts professor.

So, is it because of the curse of the Defense Against the Dark Arts class that Shiren Liu suddenly attacked him just now?

Have you made the wrong decision.

At this moment, Lockhart somewhat regretted why he had taken the position.

On the way to the school hospital, several students I met cast curious glances here. Albert believes that this incident will soon spread in the school.

After Albert carried Lockhart into the school hospital, Madam Pomfrey looked at Lockhart on the stretcher with a strange expression, and listened to Albert's narration while examining, muttering in her mouth. something.

Albert vaguely heard what seemed to be two broken bones, fortunately no internal organs were injured, and things were handled properly, which made Lockhart even paler.

Next, nothing happened to Albert. When he came to the hall, he heard a lot of girls talking about Lockhart being injured and being taken to the school hospital.

As soon as Albert sat down next to George, a group of girls gathered around and asked what was going on.

When I heard Lockhart demonstrate to Professor Sprout how to heal the beating willow, and was severely beaten by the tree, several boys around were stunned and stunned~IndoMTL. com~ don't look at me, that's how things are. "Albert spread his hands helplessly and said, "Probably this is the curse of the Defense Against the Dark Arts class!" "

Of course, Albert wouldn't say that he quietly loosened the scar, causing the Willow to attack Lockhart.

"The curse is terrible, I didn't expect it to take effect on the first day of school." Lee Jordan said in an exaggerated tone, sounding a little schadenfreude.

At this point, they all shut up because Professor McGonagall asked about Lockhart as he passed the timetable along the Gryffindor table to them.

After hearing Albert's remarks, Professor McGonagall actually gave Albert an extra five points.

"It seems that Professor McGonagall doesn't like Lockhart either." Fred muttered softly, watching Professor McGonagall leave,

George and Lee Jordan also nodded in agreement, otherwise how could they give Albert extra points?

As everyone was discussing Lockhart's misfortune, a loud noise filled the auditorium.

"...stole the car, I wouldn't be surprised if they fired you..."

Albert looked oddly sideways at Fred and George, and the voice seemed to be Mrs Weasley.

He even felt the buzzing in his ears after the roaring stopped.

The students in the hall all turned to look at the Gryffindor table, wanting to see who had received the shouting letter.

"Ron got a shouting letter," muttered Fred. "I've never seen my mother so angry."

"Me too." George shuddered.

As they spoke, they both looked in Ron's direction and saw that their younger brother had buried his head in the dinner plate in shame.

This is the price of failure to pretend!
